OVPL 2021 Men's Divisional Alignment
The 2021 Ohio Valley Premier League summer season will officially run from May 1 to July 31. There will be 20 men's teams playing a 10-game season that will conclude with a championship on July 24 or 25. If weather becomes an issue, make-up championship date will be July 30 or 31.
For the 2021 season, there will be two 10-team divisions, the River Division and the Valley Division. Each team will play their own divisional opponents one time, with an additional game against a rival.
The 2021 summer season will cap off a successful year of growth and playing for the OVPL. Originally founded in winter 2019, the inaugural 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Five clubs were able to play in Fall 2020, which crowned Kings Hammer SC the first-ever League champions. An additional Spring 2021 season was added for seven clubs to play a quick season, which will conclude as the Summer 2021 season will begin.
Twelve new men's clubs joined after the inaugural 2020 summer season, which raised the League to 22 member men's clubs. The League initially had members in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio but expansion added clubs in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
